BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - Salon City, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SALN) an emerging media company, lifestyle brand and independent marketing network, announced its editors' choice for the HOT 100 Salons in America for summer 2009. The company's highly anticipated HOT 100 Salons ratings are an exclusive brand and feature of Salon City Magazine. Selected salons are chosen from an overall industry base of nearly 250,000 salons in the country.

Steven and Annie Casciola, Salon City founders and publishers and editors of the magazine, reported the news yesterday through Salon City's Net News; the electronic media platform for the magazine that goes out to over 100,000 influential viewers each month. Annie Casciola explained how they arrived at the final HOT 100, "Salon City rates its HOT 100 salon choices by their media artistry, popularity with their clients, involvement in the community, peer respect, industry branding and their Salon City involvement with our media network, distributors and retail press club."

"Not everyone we like makes our HOT 100 list, but these did. They are talked about and they know what it takes to get the interest of our editors," Casciola stated. "The HOT 100 are really excellent role models. They represent so many other fine salons and they are the most popular and positively committed beautymakers in America. Special congratulations go out to Warren Tricomi Salon in New York City for being the # 1 HOT 100 salon three times in a row."
